Funny Bunny, Capt'n'Squiff's first mate and the steadfast discplinarian of the ship. Kindly notice his dangerous tail
Frederick, the ship's lookout who is perfect for the job with his intense gaze. He also terrorises the ship with his pranks
Squiff, aka His Nibs. The character of Squiff is based on this regal cat. Although Squiff is a Purrsian, Nibs was a Siamese cross. They both have superior leadership qualities and are terrific problem solvers. RIP His Nibs
Katfish, the intrepid helmsman who, when he is not steering the ship is between decks snoozing. Katfish is a rehabilitated gambler who has changed vices for catnip
And here we have Moana, whose massive girth indicates her role on the Naughtylis. When she is not eating she is stealing food from the others
Dipstick the mad cat who chases away curious ships from his island with his antics. Dipstick's favourite occupation is to climb curtains. RIP
What is a good story without a monkey? This is Antjie, the leader of the monkeys aboard the lucerne ship. She leads an alternative role as my wife too.
Regreta the goat, her real name is Greta. She came to the Naughtylis via trickery but later became a vital part of the crew by being their milk supply manager
Ice, Frederick and Fuzzy's mother. She was one of my wives who dominated my life. In reality she actually gave birth in my bed, a huge compliment in any cat's eyes. She sadly passed too early in her life.
Pegsi, who stars in a small role in the first book aboard the Intrepid Equine. In real life he is just as insane
Marmalade's sister, Marmite, Cupcake's prodigy. These two kittens came to us as day old rescues. Unfortunately they did not survive but they will hold a place in our hearts and in my books
Knersus, who is prominent in all my books. The failed pirate turned entrepreneur and inventor. The real life Knersus is an innovative escape artist
MacFlufffin, the hard-working miniature. We lost him all too soon due to a serious leg injury. RIP
